Essential Encounters: An MLA Translation (MLA Texts and Translations)

Published in 1969, Essential Encounters is the first novel by a woman of sub-Saharan francophone Africa. ThÃ©rÃ¨se Kuoh-Moukoury, of Cameroon, wrote it "to inspire other women to write." Its story of love, infertility, a failed marriage, and adultery looks at both interpersonal connections and national politics from a feminist perspective.
In the introduction the volume editor, Cheryl Toman, provides valuable background with a discussion of African matriarchy, past and present; ethnic groups in Cameroon; interracial relationships; and polygamy as it affects women's roles in the family and their interaction with one another.
